I have to write a research paper, and I'm having a last moment citation question. The paper is supposed to be in MLA format, with citations in the text (as opposed to footnotes). The format I am supposed to use for my research paper is (Author Page Number).

I have two sources written by the same person. In my citations in my paper, do I need to distinguish between the two, or just write it normal? For example: (Smith 5) and (Smith 323) or do I need to work the titles in somewhere?

Hopefully that's not too confusing....

Thanks!
 
no, you have to distinguish between the two. how you do it depends on whether it's clear you're citing this one guy. if he's the only one you're citing, then you can just do (book, page), --maybe you can do that anyway, regardless of the presence of other sources.
hope i helped!
